title: [Role of hyperbaric oxygen in the treatment of necrotizing infections of the soft tissues].
abstract: The Authors report their experience in the treatment of soft tissue necrotizing infections. The correct "timing" of the association of surgery, antibiotics and hyperbaric oxygen therapy is stressed. The good clinical results obtained in the patients examined confirm the usefulness of an early treatment modulated according to the needs of each single patient.
